About

I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in the department of Computer Science at Purdue University. My research interest lies in Cryptography and other theoretical problems including graph theory and algebraic number theory. I've been fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jeremiah Blocki since Spring 2019. Prior to joining Purdue I completed my M.Sc in the department of Mathematical Sciences at Seoul National University and B.Sc at POSTECH.
